透析英语023

Here, the theory is that what we really want out of personal development, both in active efforts and passive consumption, is that good feeling that we’re doing something to improve our situation. It’s an anxiety-reducing effect that the challenges we’re facing are somehow being dealt with, even if they aren’t being resolved immediately. Since both reading and doing something alleviate this tension, they are substitutes, and consuming one will decrease consumption of the other.

其实，无论是积极的影响还是消极的消耗，我们真正想从个人发展里获得的是一种良好感觉，认为我们正在做一些事来改善我们目前的情况。

即使这些不能立即奏效，也可以起到减少我们面对挑战时所产生的焦虑。

因为阅读和实际行动都能缓解这种紧张，所以他们是替代品，消耗其中一种会减少另外一种的消耗。
